Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach (2009)
Journal Article
Peeters, K., & Taormina, A. (2009). Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 256(4), 607-624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2008.10.019

We explore the use of a top-down approach to analyse the dynamics of icosahedral virus capsids and complement the information obtained from bottom-up studies of viral vibrations available in the literature. A normal mode analysis based on protein ass... Read More about Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach.

Conformal non-relativistic hydrodynamics from gravity (2009)
Journal Article
Rangamani, M., Ross, S. F., Son, D., & Thompson, E. G. (2009). Conformal non-relativistic hydrodynamics from gravity. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009(01), Article 075. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2009/01/075

We show that the recently constructed holographic duals of conformal non-relativistic theories behave hydrodynamically at long distances, and construct the gravitational dual of fluid flows in a long-wavelength approximation. We compute the thermal c... Read More about Conformal non-relativistic hydrodynamics from gravity.

Liouville Theory and Elliptic Genera (2009)
Journal Article
Taormina, A. (2009). Liouville Theory and Elliptic Genera. Progress of theoretical physics. Supplement, 177(Supplement 1), 203-217. https://doi.org/10.1143/ptps.177.203

The structure and modular properties of N = 4 superconformal characters are reviewed and exploited, in an attempt to construct elliptic genera-like functions by decompactifying K3. The construction is tested against expressions obtained in the contex... Read More about Liouville Theory and Elliptic Genera.

Homo- and Hetero-Polymers in the Mean-Field Approximation (2009)
Journal Article
Cranston, M., Hryniv, O., & Molchanov, S. (2009). Homo- and Hetero-Polymers in the Mean-Field Approximation. Markov processes and related fields, 15(2), 205-224

We discuss phase transition and Lyapunov exponents for homopolymers and heteropolymers in the mean-eld approximation.

Characteristic p analogue of modules with finite crystalline height (2009)
Journal Article
Abrashkin, V. (2009). Characteristic p analogue of modules with finite crystalline height. Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly, 5(1), 469-494. https://doi.org/10.4310/pamq.2009.v5.n1.a14

In the case of local fields of positive characateristic we introduce an analogue of Fontaine's concept of Galois modules with finite crystalline height h. If h=1 these modules appear as geometric points of Faltings's strict modules. We obtain upper e... Read More about Characteristic p analogue of modules with finite crystalline height.

Conjugacy classification of quaternionic Möbius transformations (2009)
Journal Article
Parker, J. R., & Short, I. (2009). Conjugacy classification of quaternionic Möbius transformations. Computational Methods and Function Theory - Springer, 9(1), 13-25. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf03321711

It is well known that the dynamics and conjugacy class of a complex Möbius transformation can be determined from a simple rational function of the coefficients of the transformation. We study the group of quaternionic Möbius transformations and ident... Read More about Conjugacy classification of quaternionic Möbius transformations.

Gravity and Hydrodynamics: Lectures on the fluid-gravity correspondence (2009)
Journal Article
Rangamani, M. (2009). Gravity and Hydrodynamics: Lectures on the fluid-gravity correspondence. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 26(22), Article 224003. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/26/22/224003

We discuss recent developments in the hydrodynamic description of strongly coupled conformal field theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we review aspects of the fluid-gravity correspondence which provides a map between a class of... Read More about Gravity and Hydrodynamics: Lectures on the fluid-gravity correspondence.
